To all whom, itmft'l/ feo/merit:

'Be it known that I, PAUL JIGoUzo, a citizen of the French Republic, residing. at Rue Jullien, Vanves. France, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Asynchronous Motors; and l do hereby declare the 4following to be a full, clear, and exact description' of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the-art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to an asynchronous motor, perferably with a squirrel-cage, (or

short-circuited armature,) which has the following advantages: iirst, increased eiiiciency;

second, starting under load without the employment of a strong current; third, vigorous ventilation.

The new device is also intended for use in 'connection with fans and centrifugal pumps.

For the purpose of enabling the invention to be understood I make use of the accompanyingdrawings, in which-- Figure 1 is a section of the motor; Figs. 2 and 3, detail views. Fig. 4 is a section of a double motor in which several starting-coils can be employed: Fig. 5, a two-step starting device; Fig. 6, a four-step starting device of a motor with four coils. application of the invention to a fan.

First. litcr'casc 0f c icz'cncyf-The losses through hysteresis andvFoucanlt (eddy) currents in the armature of an asynchronous motor are always very considerable. The'most effectual means for diminishing them, other conditions being equal, is to reduce the volume of iron in the inductor, which is easily effected by placing it in the interior of the armature. As the inductor is now fixed in order to avoid any frictional contact the armature, which is fixed to a bell keyed to the shaft, (or to a mechanical device fulfilling the same purpose,) will rotate around it. The length of the wound copper conductors being less, since the raised coils or involutions are directed toward the center instead of toward the periphery, there will be a diminution in -the resistances of the circuits, and consequentlya reduction of the losses. Moreover, for the inductor large diameters may be employed. The number of notches can thus be Fig. 7 shows the` increased, which will enable the leakage to he y reduced or the number of lields to be increased,

and consequently a slow rate of speed rendered possible, with but slight leakage. 'lhis arrangement is illustrated in Fig. l, in which c is the fixed inductor, made of a number of thin plates. b isa bell keyed to the shaft (f. ,d is an armature which is fixed to the hell and may consist of a number of thin plates or be in one solid piece. c represents the rings for binding the sheet-metal plates employed in the construction of the squirrel-cage armature. f' are the bars of the squirrel-cage armature. j is afan increasing the natural ventilation and producing air-currents in the direction of the arrows. i

The new arrangement enables, by the formation of notches which are not radial, but arranged parallel two by two, fiat coils previously formed to be employed Jfor the winding, an important point in connection with high-tension motors. This arrangement is illustrated on a reduced scale in Fig. Q, in which f k2 are two parallel notches for the reception of a coil made separately. Z2 are two parallel notches which receive a coil of the same circuit. This'form of the device relates to the armature or' a-.three-phase motor. In special cases of motors with a single field it is vpossible if the notches be formed one in line with the other to effect the winding easily by mounting the inductor between the two centers of a lathe. This case is illustrated on a reduced scale in Fig. 3, in which m m2 are two notches formed one inline with the other,which receive a coil produced by mounting the inductor on a lathe. n. n2 are two notches, which receive a coil .of the same circuit. This example relates to the inductor of a triphase motor. 0' 02 are the centers'of the lathe.' The employment of these flat coils with rectilinear sides reduces the length of wire used, and consequently the losses from ohmic resistance.

Second. Starting-In cases where the motor is to be without any rubbing contact the armature is in the squirrel -cage form. The starting under load of this high-efficiency motor without the employment of any powerful current :is effected in the following manner,

In order to get speed, a change is made from the circuit 3 to the circuit 2, either suddenly or gradually, the resistances withdrawnfrom 2, or the self-inductor coils being introduced into 3.
